Wireless charging pad flashing red - SOLVED

[FastBlackRam]

So I took delivery today and tested the wireless charging pad with my galaxy s9+. The little blue indicator came on and the phone indicated it was wirelessly charging. Then shortly after that I noticed the blue light was flashing red and the phone wasn't charging anymore. Then the red light stopped and no light was on. Then I removed the phone from the pad and reapplied it and the same cycle repeated.

Anyone else have this experience? It charges fine on other wireless chargers.

Try positioning the phone so that the left edge is about 3/4 inch from indicator light on pad.

He's correct you have to find the sweet spot. I have an S9+ and a Note 9. I usually align the left edge up with the trailer brake slider just above the charging pad.

You'll get it!

Thank you all for the replies. I will try to find the sweet spot. Also saw some related threads.

Yes it’s all about positioning. Some phones are tougher than others to find the right spot. Play around with it.

Well your suggestions were spot on. I found the sweet spot for my S9+ which is basically centering the phone right over the printed wireless charging logo on the pad. Nothing but blue!!

Glad to hear. It is definitely tricky trying to get the phone positioned just right but it’s a great feature.

My Note 9 will only charge with my carbon fiber cover off.

Will it charge on other wireless chargers with the cover on?

I don't know. The Ram has my only wireless charger...

My IPhone and android both charge with a cover on them.

Something I just learned while reading through some STAR CASES : . the drivers' door MUST be closed for the charging system to 'kick in' and work ..

yeah, yeah, it is 'prolly in the owner's manual as well but I never had an issue as I don't drive with the door open HA!

Yep. Found this out while at the dealer a while back to pick up my truck after service. The Service Manager and I were shooting the breeze in the lot and I slid my phone into the charger but it showed red the entire time we were talking. He didn’t know what was wrong and we both suspected something happened to the charger. Eventually a tech told us about the door thing.

I have a 2021 RAM Longhorn with wireless charging and discovered the need to position the phone just right to activate charging (blue light).
However, does anyone know if the wireless charger can charge two (2) phones at once?

 

[Diamondback]

they'd have to be some awfully skinny phones (like 2-3 inches wide.) - unless yours' has the charger in the center console area instead.

 

[FastBlackRam]

This has probably already been said, but to charge wireless, I have to position a phone oriented in portrait with the center of the back of the phone in line with the battery symbol you see on the charging pad. To charge two phones at the same time, one can be on the right side with the cable running down through the rightmost slot. The second one can charge wireless centered on the pad, or wired with cable running down through the leftmost slot.

 

[Diamondback]

Yeah 1 wireless and 1 corded (2 if not using or have the wireless feature) + center console wired chargers of course.

I just turn my phone sideways and it works wireless charging wise everytime.
